Title: Plugin version 1.2.5 not authenticating users Last modified: November 10, 2018 --- # Plugin version 1.2.5 not authenticating users * [jalokim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jalokim/) * (@jalokim) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/) * Hi. * I updated your plugin yesterday to version 1.2.5 and I can no longer POST requests. * I have a custom post type and custom user role that serves only to save data to this custom type. everything works great prior to 1.2.5 * Now I keep getting error 401, rest_cannot_create and that my user hasn’t got sufficient rights. JWT token is ok and valid, JWT token is attached to bearer in headers. I even changed the user rights to admin and same 401 problem. * Reverted to version 1.2.3 and everything works perfectly. Any idea what happened in the new version that I am no longer authenticated?

It was working with 1.2.4, I rolled back and all good, I suppose we are missing some additional data to pass? * [guntercn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guntercn/) * (@guntercn) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/#post-10900999) * hi, i think i got the same error. my site is: WP: 4.9.8 JWT: 1.2.5 WP Cerber Security: 7.9 * my app ionic 3.9 * short story: the login, validate token: works fine. * semi-code * this.authenticationService.doLogin(value.username, value.password){ — OK –get a valid token * — /* call wp/v2/users/me */ this.wordpressService.getUserMe(){ — true section} error{ — response wp/v2/users/me HTTP 401 Unauthorized } } * the service always response HTTP 401 Unauthorized * log [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fadcw8J08hAYTJj9FRnWz8zY4hpLxyJ4/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fadcw8J08hAYTJj9FRnWz8zY4hpLxyJ4/view) * “soluTion” after 2 days tracking the possible error, plugins, custom services etc if install the JWT version 1.2.4, the site do not respond HTTP 401 Unauthorized. * thanks for some help * [hotbelgo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hotbelgo/) * (@hotbelgo) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/#post-10961591) * I seem to have the same problem on my development machine – reverting to 1.2.4 fixed it * [egonvb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egonvb/) * (@egonvb) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/#post-10979142) * Same here, in my case a fix for gutenberg in includes/class-jw-auth.php::define_public_hooks()( introduced in 1.2.5) messes up my authentication. * i’m using the Rest-API from within an authenticated wordpress session, the added fix detects a logged in user and doesn’t call the determine_current_user filter. Because of this the token doesn’t get parsed and my ReST Controller reports there is no authenticated user. - This reply was modified 7 years, 5 months ago by [egonvb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egonvb/). * [MadeByCaliper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caliperdesign/) * (@caliperdesign) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/#post-11150454) * [@goran87](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goran87/) I’ve spent about a week trying to debug this and was so confused bc I was also testing in Postman, which works with the `Bearer {{token}}` and stuff. Rollback to JWT v1.2.4 for now. * [vallinath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallinath/) * (@vallinath) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/#post-11341711) * I am trying to access thru Angular 6. I am getting Unauthorised error. To try with Jwt 1-2-4 I am not able to get 1.2.4 version. Can some one help me by sending that version. * My mail id is [mvallinath@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-version-1-2-5-not-authenticating-users/mvallinath@gmail.com?output_format=md) * Thanking you in advance.
